I had never heard much about Caravaggio before taking this tour, but I’ve visited Rome so many times that I was looking for an experience I’d never had before and this is one of the few tours I hadn’t taken yet. Now, after the tour is over and I can reflect on it, Caravaggio is now easily one of my favorite artists ever. My tour guide was so nice and very knowledgeable as well; in fact on my next trip through I will be booking another tour with them, no matter what it is.

Through my travels my favorite thing to do is visit as many art museums, and learn about as many artists as possible. I know all the mainstream artists well, but didn’t know much about Caravaggio; now I do and am so much happier for it! The art, and tour, was incredible.

Our group was lucky to have Alice guide us. As a person she was kind, patient and fun-loving. As a guide she was knowledgeable, organized and well-prepared. Alice attended to every little detail, and when our trip came to an end, she suggested a very nice restaurant dropping us off only when we sat at our table. What a pleasure to meet Alice!
